Ted Cruz’s official Twitter account “liked” something pretty surprising, and it’s caused a huge reaction on social media. While it’s unclear who exactly “liked” the post, whoever it was “liked” something they probably shouldn’t have. Specifically a porn clip from the Twitter account “@SexuallPosts.”

According to The Verge, the tweet was liked by Cruz’s official Twitter account for nearly an hour before being deleted at around 1:20 a.m on Tuesday. The senator’s communications director Catherine Frazier, said the message “has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter,” suggesting that Cruz will say his account was hacked.

While the post was only up for an hour, Twitter still noticed. As did the account that posted the video…

Their biography now also encourages people to “follow for the same porn [Ted Cruz] watches.” Twitter found it hilarious, of course.

Stock photos are what media outlets use when they don’t have another photo to illustrate a particular story. Because of this, stock photos often operate this weird uncanny valley of the specific and general—something that the Twitter account @darkstarkphotos shows hilariously with its collection of some of the weirdest, darkest stock photos on the Internet.

The account—run by UK journalist Andy Kelly—curates the strangest images lurking in the corners of popular stock photo websites like Shutterstock and iStock.

“I’ve always found stock photography hilarious, and while digging through the depths of Shutterstock I noticed a few that stuck out among all the smiling models playing tennis and eating salad. Some were disturbing, but mostly they were just funny,” Kelly said in an interview with Mashable. “No matter how serious the subject matter is, the absurd artifice and bluntness of stock photography makes it amusing.”

The best/worst thing about the internet is that the second something goes live, somebody, somewhere, has probably saved it. No matter how fast you delete, alter, edit, or change something, if you messed up, there’s probably going to be a record of it somewhere.

A fact of internet life that might have gotten whoever’s running the Emmys official Twitter account in a lot of trouble right now.

Meet Toomas Hendrik Ilves, the president of Estonia. He’s a fan of bow ties and trolling the hell out of jerks on the Internet. And he just knocked Obama out of the top slot for coolest president after he delivered an amazing burn to a Trump supporter on Twitter. For some reason, ‘Trump Gabbard 2016’ with the President of Estonia tweeting in English, so he sent him this reply…

How dare you speak are language, Mr President. Ilves, being the badass he is, replied to the troll personally with this…

That. Burn. And he casually drops some Latin in there too, “Quod erat demonstrandum,” or QED, translates to “which is what had to be proven”, and is used after a mathematical proof.

The burn was so hot in fact, that the Trump troll deleted his Twitter account. Poor guy. The people of Twitter were pretty amused by the whole exchange.
